Would It Be Moral Elicit for a Vampire to Descendant From the Biblical Cane?

Would it be moral elicit for him to make one of the vampires a descendant from the biblical cane, as the result of the curse laid on cane by god? It's not wrong in principle, but i would discourage that option for a couple of reasons. One reason is it doesn't really fit the biblical data. The second reason is that through very unfortunate circumstances, s in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the idea of the mark of cain got tied up with racism. And so some eighteenth and nineteenth century racists started speculating that what the mark of can was was darker skin. So none of this biblical data really fits with vampirism.
